This trip is a boat trip on the Mekong river, experiencing the daily life of the locals who inhabit the region, visiting orchards, bee -keeping farms, taste natural honey & honey wine, enjoying tropical fruit, traditional music and a visit to an interesting floating market where many local people gather to sell their produce.
